The first day of our yard sale was a success. Most items are gone, and we’ve raised a nice sum for charity. We found a few more items, and list them below (underlined), together with those that still remain available.

These items are used. Most of these were used for our technical articles, so they have about 50-150 miles on them. There is some “shop-wear”, but functionally, these items are as good as new. (A few items are new or have more use, this is clearly marked.) Unless noted, only one/one pair of each item is available.

The prices do not include shipping. Payment is by PayPal only. First come, first serve – e-mail (heine94 at earthlink dot net) with your list of items you want to buy, we’ll confirm what we still have, you pay, we ship. It’s that simple. The prices are low, so things will go fast. No photos, sorry.

Bikes

Trek 2100c (see photo above): Size 58 cm (top tube is 560 mm). This is the only bike where you can adjust the amount of “planing.” It come with three sets of elastomers for the rear triangle, plus we machined a delrin plug to eliminate the suspension completely. As you pedal, the rear triangle has a tiny bit of “suspension bob,” which stores pedaling energy during the down stroke, and releases it as you pass through the dead spots. For us, it worked incredibly well with the “Medium” elastomer, making this one of the best-performing bikes we have ridden. By trying the soft, medium and hard elastomers, it will allow you to find your sweet spot. The bike has an aluminum frame, carbon rear triangle, Shimano 105 derailleurs and shifters, triple cranks with low tread (Q factor). The photo shows how we tested it. We sell it in its “stock” configuration (Shimano clipless pedals, original front wheel and saddle, no bag or bottle cages) – see the factory photo here. We’ll include a set of barely ridden Grand Bois tires ($120 value). We’ve ridden it about 250-300 miles, never in the rain. Originally retailed for $1650. Full test report is in Bicycle Quarterly Vol. 4, No. 4. Probably the fastest bike you can buy for $850 plus shipping.
